How will you feel after the procedure?

You should be prepared for the possibility that you may later regret the decision to circumcise your baby. For some parents it is the trauma of the experience – often their baby will no longer breastfeed, and it can feel as though the natural bonding process between mother and child has been broken. Other parents only fully research circumcision after the procedure, and from there discover the life-long complications, ethical and human rights issues associated with circumcision.
